Portland at Indiana 7:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Pacers- Portland enters Indianapolis off a Wednesday loss at Minnesota and has now dropped five of their last seven while the Pacers who just lost in heartbreaking fashion 129-126 in overtime at Philadelphia and that ended a 4-game win streak and 6-of-7. The Trailblazers have had their way with Indiana and are 15-5 ATS in the last 20 meetings including 4-1 ATS at Indiana. The Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall and 4-0 ATS at home but that all ends here. Take PORTLAND! |

01-05-23 | USC v. UCLA -11 | 58-60 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
USC at UCLA 9:30 ET Bruins (-) over Trojans-The Bruins have reeled off 10 straight wins are a sluggish 3-2 start are now ranked No. 10 and that is probably where they belong. USC had a seven-game winning streak of their own stopped as out Megabucks winner Washington State dismantled the Trojans and this by a 5-9 team. USC was exposed and the bruins are experienced and good enough to control the tempo here and the outcome. The Bruins are 4-0 ATS against teams with winning records above 60%. Take UCLA. |

01-05-23 | Indiana v. Iowa -118 | Top | 89-91 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Indiana at Iowa 9:00 ET Hawkeyes over Hoosiers- Indiana hasn’t played since Dec. 23 a home win over Kennesaw State and before that they defeated powerful Elon. Playing those patsies at home and then taking to the road to face the boys of the Big Ten will be a difficult task as they are 1-3-1 ATS on the road. Iowa is looking to post their first conference win after three losses and are 6-2 ATS at home and the Hoosiers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall. Take IOWA! |

01-05-23 | Grizzlies v. Magic +7.5 | Top | 123-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
Memphis at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Grizzlies- One thing about this game it has the two teams that I try to avoid and this is playing on Orlando or against Memphis. But of you look at each teams overall record we find that the big bad Grizzlies are just 9-10 SU and 6-13 ATS on the road and the magic are 13-8 ATS at home. It seems that Orlando has performed some magic as former No. 1 pick and total NBA failure Markelle Fultz has played in just nine game but is starting to have an impact with his scoring, rebounding and assists. The Grizzlies are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips to the Magic Kingdom while the Magic are 11-3 ATS in their last fourteen games overall and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games at home. Take ORLANDO! |

01-05-23 | Purdue +2 v. Ohio State | Top | 71-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Purdue at Ohio State 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Buckeyes- These two clubs have one thing in common and that is both have played Rutgers with the Megabucks Buckeyes prevailed 67-66 while Purdue was knocked from the undefeated ranks thanks to Megabucks Rutgers winner. it is not unusual for a team that is this deep into the season and is handed their first loss to fall the next time out. The Buckeyes are off a huge road win over Northwestern on New Year’s Day are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games after a SU win. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. take PURDUE! |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Hawks +1.5 v. Kings | 120-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Sacramento 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Kings- We have been involved with both of these clubs the past two nights and they both gave great effort. Atlanta lost (+1.5) 143-141 in 2OT to Golden State on Monday (heartbreaking loss as Warriors hit three-point shots to tie and send the game into over twice. Last night we won with the Kings (Megabucks) outright at Utah and return home to start a 4-game home stand against the Hawks who have lost their last four and 10-of-14. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall but just 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Sacramento. But, the Kings are1-5 ATS after scoring 100 points the previous game and are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games. Take ATLANTA! |

01-04-23 | TCU v. Baylor -5.5 | Top | 88-87 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
TCU at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears (-) over Horned Frogs- No. 16 Baylor will host No. 17 Texas Christian in what could be an epic battle. the Horned Frogs have won 10 straight and are off a come-from-behind 67-61 home win over Texas Tech while Baylor was getting their face stomped at Iowa State 77-62. Bears coach Scott Drew Scott was upset at his clubs lack of team play recording only seven assists while committing 19 turnovers. TCU has taken a page out of the Baylor playbook and are allowing only 61 PPG ranked No. 32. Frogs 20-8-1 ATS on the road in last 29 but the favorite is 11-2-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Bears respond as they are 4-0-1 ATS after a SU loss. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Bucks v. Raptors -5 | 104-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors over Bucks- Most teams in this league as I have state are different teams at home and on the road. Toronto sort of breaks that mold as they have lost nine of their last 12 games including five losses in their last six games at home. Milwaukee is off a win where Giannis scored a career best 55 points in a home win over Washington last night and I expect a drop off tonight a they had lost five of their previous six game.Bucks are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games and 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Suns +5.5 v. Cavs | Top | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Phoenix at Cleveland 7:00 ET Suns (+) over Cavaliers- Like some many NBA teams going on the road can be a nightmare even for those that are supposed to be the better clubs. Phoenix after making a run at the NBA title in recent years has fallen into that road maze as they are just 6-13 on the road (this is a contender?) This is the final game of a season long road trip and the Suns have lost their last three and four of five entering tonight’s contest. They will have to deal with Donovan Mitchell who is off a record setting 71 point and 11 assists in a 145-134 overtime win over Chicago. The Cavaliers have been tough everywhere but especially at home where they are 17-4 but just 1-7-1 after allowing 125 or more points in their previous game. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Duke v. NC State +5 | 60-84 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
Duke at N.C. State 7:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Blue Devils- Duke is coming off a victory against Florida State where they had a torrid shooting night making 51% from the floor and 44% from beyond the arc winning 86-67. Ryan Young made all seven field attempts and all six free throws for the Blue Devils against a rag Seminole defense and you can be sure that he won’t do it again tonight. Duke has owned in the in-state rival winning the last three and 14 of the last 18 meetings. The Wolfpack are 11-4 SU and that really doesn’t mean that they are not actually playing that well as they have covered the number just once in their last eight outings going 1-5-1 ATS. This is just Duke’s second true road game and they lost that one to Wake Forest. I believe that the Wolfpack are better and they are 8-1 at home good enough to bring this to the final buzzer and an outright win is possible. Take N.C. STATE! |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Penn State +4 v. Michigan | Top | 69-79 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 8 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan 8:00 ET State has reeled off five straight wins while Michigan well, so not much overall but is coming off a beat down on Maryland New Year’s Day 81-46. A lot of things have to go right for you to win by that margin in a conference game and the Terrapins are 10-4. Still the Wolverines are just mid-land at 8-5 and have a chance to man-up as a small favorite against the 11-3 Nittany Lions who are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games. Michigan who won huge last time out are 6-20 ATS after a win and 0-5 straight-up after a win of 20 points or more. Nittany Lions are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games. It might look too good...take PENN STATE! |

01-03-23 | Kings +3.5 v. Jazz | Top | 117-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
Sacramento at Utah 9:00ET Kings (+) over Jazz- Ten days ago the Kings took down Utah 126-125 at home as a 3.5-point favorite getting the non-cover victory but following that on New Years Day they were out-classed by Memphis 118-108 while the Jazz were dropping a 126-123 loss to Miami on New year Eve. Although, the Jazz have dominated this series over the years this is a different Kings club that is looking to even the score with everyone. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Kansas State v. Texas -8.5 | 116-103 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Kansas State at Texas 8:00 ET Longhorns (-) over Wildcats- Ya know, just who are the pollsters and people that rank college basketball do it on what basis? Here we have two schools with huge basketball programs with the same record in the same conference and Texas is ranked No.6 and Kansas State doesn’t get placed into the Top-25. The Wildcats take to the road for just their third true road game While the Longhorns are 9-0 SU at home. This price seems excessive as the Wildcats are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games and the visitor is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Longhorns must be expected to have a breakout game at home as they are 2-5 ATS at home and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall. looks to easy to take Kansas State. DO TAKE TEXAS! |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Kansas v. Texas Tech +1.5 | Top | 75-72 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Kansas at Texas Tech 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas made a huge comeback last time out versus Oklahoma State 69-67 after trailing by 15 points at half and opening the second half with a 22-5 run worthy of their No. 3 status. Texas Tech on the other side of coin blew a 11-point halftime lead to TCU bowing 67-61 while committing 23 turnovers. While the Jayhawks are playing just their second true road game of the season the Red Raiders are 8-0 SU at home and are on a 29-game home winning streak. Tech is 10-2 ATS after a SU loss. Take TEXAS TECH! |
|||||||
01-03-23 | LSU v. Kentucky -9.5 | Top | 71-74 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
LSU at Kentucky 8:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Tigers- Whoa Nellie...is this right? I mean really talk about ‘Don’t make sense’ listen to how this game sets up. Here is LSU 12-1 and winners of six straight entering Lexington including a 60-57 win over No. 9 Arkansas as a huge underdog. Kentucky is 9-4 on the season and has yet to be impressive against Division I opponents. The Wildcats who are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games have won six of the last seven meetings but otherwise all trends and stats point to the Tigers and it is over kill. One other thing this is the first true road game for LSU. That might be the why the line is where it is. Take KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Marquette v. St. John's +2.5 | 96-85 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Marquette at St. John’s 6:30 ET Red Storm (-) over Golden Eagles- When I think of these two teams I would rate the Golden Eagles much higher than I do St. John’s. Then when seeing that they are both standing at 11-4 I took a closer look. The Red Storm (I hate that name, having gone to MSG to root on or against the former Redmen) are 8-1 SU at home with the one loss coming to Xavier in the middle their current three game losing streak. Marquette is off a pair of impressive wins over Seton Hall and at Villanova but will be up against it here as the home team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Take ST. JOHN’S! |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Hawks +1.5 v. Warriors | Top | 141-143 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Atlanta at Golden State 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Warriors- Just looking at the line should tell you something about this match up as it appears the mighty have fallen. Golden State is saddled with injuries as the Warriors line against the Hawks has dropped over 10-points in 18 months. Golden State is 18-2 straight-up at home and yet here they are barely the favorite against an Atlanta squad is 6-11 on the road. This one smells! Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Nuggets v. Wolves +2 | 111-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Denver at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Nuggets- Minnesota has lost in-a-row and the last of which came Saturday night against lowly Detroit and now the host the Western Conference wins leader. The chemistry is no where to be found among the T’wolves as the hue off-season trade for Rudy Gobert has him playing well and most other not doing their fair share. Denver has won their last two and one win was over Boston last night and are 2-5 ATS on second of back-to-back games. The Wolves have been terrible but tonight at home they take advantage of a weary Nugget squad. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Bulls +4.5 v. Cavs | 134-145 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Cavaliers- Cleveland ended a a three game slide with a win 103-102 win at Chicago Saturday night which is a rare thing as the Bulls are 34-16 ATS in the last 50 decisions. The Cavaliers are a stellar 16-4 SU at home (13-6-1 ATS) while the Bulls are just 7-11 on the road and just 2-6 ATS after a straight up win. Add that the Bulls are 21-7 ASTS in the last 28 meetings in Cleveland. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Rutgers +9 v. Purdue | 65-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Rutgers at Purdue 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue will be playing Rutgers for the second time in two seasons as the No. 1 ranked team and they are hoping for a better result this time around as the Scarlet Knights upset them 70-68 in New Jersey handing them their first loss after starting the year 8-0. This year it is different they are playing Rutgers at home and the but are still undefeated at 13-0. The Scarlet Knights must a thing about getting ready for the Boilermakers as they defeated them in West Lafayette in 2020 and the are 6-1 ATS in their last seven while the Boilermakers are 6-17-3 ATS in their last 26 games overall. Take RUTGERS! |
|||||||
01-01-23 | Kings +4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Sacramento and Memphis 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- I can’t remember that last time that the Kings were on top of the Pacific Division and at 19-15 there they are ahead of the LA Clippers. For years all Sacramento was a playoff outcast but with the addition of Domantas Sabonis who is described as a walking double-double they are an up and coming team that will have to be dealt with. Memphis who trails the Pelicans by a half-game still have not played at the level expected and Ja Morant at times has been spectacular and other times not so much. The Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and they are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 rod games. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Nets v. Hornets +7 | 123-106 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- Brooklyn has started to play the way many expected earlier in the season as they are currently on a 10-game winning streak and are just two games behind the division leading Celtics. Charlotte on the other hand has lost five straight at home but are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The nets are the No. 1 shooting team in the NBA hitting over 50%. The Hornets were the Nets first victim starting their 10-game streak and they will end it here tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Texas v. Oklahoma +3.5 | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Texas at Oklahoma 2:00 ET Sooners (+) over Longhorns- No. 6 Texas (11-1) has won four straight and while that really isn’t big news they have done it with interim coach Rodney Terry leading the way as Chris Beard faces felony domestic violence charges. This is the Longhorns Big-12 opener and their first true road game and they are 0-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and they are 1-5 ATS after three straight home games. the Sooners haven’t played in 11 days are one of the better shooting team in the country hitting over 50% from the floor and should be ready for longhorn and are in the top-20 in 3-point shooting. Add that the underdog is 17-4 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take OKLAHOMA! |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Arizona v. Arizona State +6.5 | Top | 69-60 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Arizona at Arizona State 2:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Wildcats- Yeah well, there was no way I could avoid this one as 12-1 No. 5 Arizona comes to Tempe leading the nation in field goal percentage at 53.2 and is No. 2 in scoring averaging 90.2 PPG. Arizona State returns home from San Francisco having been trashed by the Dons 97-60 as Bill Russell and KC Jones must have been there in spirit. I have to believe that this rivalry match-up had the Sun Devils looking ahead and they got caught and beaten badly. That loss ended their own nine game winning streak and they are 11-2 ATS in 13 games after a 20 point loss. The Wildcats are 2-6 ATS after scoring 90 or more points. Take ARIZONA STATE! |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Baylor v. Iowa State +2 | Top | 62-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
Baylor at Iowa State 2:00 ET Cyclones (+) over Bears- Okay, there are some trends that you do not want to hear about if you are looking to back the Cyclones against Baylor. To start with the Bears have won the last six meetings and nine of the last 10. But this year’s version of Iowa State has coach T.J. Otzelberger’s mantra and that is play defense from one end of the floor to the other end and you do this for the full 40 minutes. Iowa State is ninth in the nation in total defense allowing just 56.9 PPG. Baylor is playing just their second true road game and they are already 0-1 losing at Marquette. Bears defeated Nicholls State by 30-points last time out and they are 0-8 ATS after winning by 20 or more points. Take IOWA STATE! |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Connecticut v. Xavier +2.5 | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Connecticut at Xavier 12:00 ET Musketeers (+) over Huskies- The Big East is heating up as conference play continues in Cincinnati where undefeated and No. 2 Connecticut (14-0) will be challenged by Xavier and the Musketeers are on a seven game win streak of their own and are 7-1 SU at home. The Huskies had cover eight straight games and were tested in their last two games against Georgetown and St. Johns a pair of non-covering wins. The Musketeers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with winning records. Take XAVIER! |
|||||||
12-30-22 | UCLA v. Washington State +8.5 | 67-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
UCLA at Washington State 11:00 ET Cougars (+) over Bruins- I really hope that I am not being bias here but I’ve seen this UCLA team up close and personal three different times this season and I am still waiting to be impressed. The Bruins are riding an eight game win streak and are off a win 81-65 over powerful UC Davis. Washington State has dropped six of their last eight games but the home team is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings and we are hoping the bruins take the Cougars for granted. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Jazz +3.5 v. Kings | 125-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Utah at Sacramento 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Kings- The Kings scored 127 in their victory over the Nuggets Friday night but the unusual thing about them scoring so high and they had only three players score in double figures with each of the three scoring over 30 points. It was a great day for Sacramento but teams must have better balance to survive in the long run. Utah fell to Golden State last time out blowing a double-digit lead scoring just 13 points in the final period. The Jazz are 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings including 4-0 ATS at Sacramento. Take UTAH! |

12-30-22 | Heat +4.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 119-124 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- Ya know we should really give this Erik Spoelstra credit as every season I expect them to waver but they always end up being very competitive. After a slow start Miami has risen above the .500 mark by winning six of their last eight. The constant thing the he gets out of his players is their commitment to playing defense which once again is top ranked at No. 4 allowing just 108.9 PPG and they make their free throws at 82.2%. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Wolves +6.5 v. Bucks | 114-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Milwaukee 8;00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Bucks- Ya know a the end of last season I was looking forward to Minnesota being a legitimate threat and viable competitor for the playoffs. When they made certain off season moves I was sure that they had improved their lot. But, getting good players doesn’t always mean wins. The Bucks like the T’ wolves have lost their last four games even with Rudy Gobert who is picking up the slack left with Towns out with injury. Take MINNESOTA! |

New York at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Knicks- Tent days ago the Knicks were riding an eight game winning streak and then the holidays happened and so have four straight losses. San Antonio hasn’t had much to brag about either having lost 5-of-7 and are already out of the playoff picture at 11-23. Things are so bad on the court for the Spurs that HOF coach Gregg Popovich is getting ejected earlier and earlier and last time out got the thumb one minute into the second quarter.The Knicks blew a 9-point lead to Dallas in the final 33 seconds and are still in shock.Spurs take advantage. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Clippers +6 v. Celtics | 110-116 | Push | 0 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
LA Clippers at Boston 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over Celtics- Who wants to play against these Celtics...not many people and for good reason, the combination of Brown and Tatum is the most dynamic duo the the NBA. Boston is completing a seven game home stand and they have won the last three after falling in the first three while LA is playing the fourth of a five game road trip. Celts No. 1 offense will be up against the NBA’s No. 3 defense and the Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Boston. Take the LA CLIPPERS! |

12-29-22 | Grizzlies v. Raptors +3.5 | 119-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Memphis at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Grizzlies- I know that I am always looking for an opportunity to root Ja Morant on but I know that I fade the Grizzlies more than I back them. Both Toronto and Memphis are off losses and are struggling of late with the Raptors having lost 7-of-9 SU and the Grizzlies have dropped their last two and 4-of-5. Toronto has lost four straight at home but Memphis is just 4-13 ATS on the road. Add that the Raptors are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take TORONTO! |

Iowa at Nebraska 7;00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- Iowa opened the season 5-0 and then reality hit as their competition became stronger and they are 3-4 since and riding a 3-game losing streak into Lincoln. It their defense Iowa has been without their senior point guard and junior power forward who status is uncertain. The Cornhuskers are 5-1 SU at home be it against lower tier teams with the lone loss coming in overtime 65-62 to then No. 1 Purdue. The home team is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

Denver at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nuggets- These two met last night and the Kings blew a 20-point lead as the Nuggets won their fifth straight but they are just 1-4 ATS on the road and even with last night’s win are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Kings are 7-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and 9-4 after a SU loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Arkansas -4 v. LSU | 57-60 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Arkansas at LSU 9:00 ET Razorbacks (-) over Tigers- A pair of 11-1 clubs square off in Baton Rouge where LSU is 8-0 and hosting an Arkansas team playing their first true road game. Ordinarily I would look to play against anybody in the Razorbacks position but they have been on the road fat neutral site five time and have played and beaten the likes of Creighton, Oklahoma, San Diego State, Bradley and Louisville (they were good once). Razorbacks are actually 9-1 ATS in their last 10 true road games. Take ARKANSAS! |

12-28-22 | Alabama v. Mississippi State +1.5 | Top | 78-67 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Alabama at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- Both of these clubs are off record setting start as Mississippi (11-1) is second only to their 13-0 start in 2003-04 season while Alabama at 11-2 is their best start since 2007. We have had our way with the Tide as week are 4-0 ATS in games where they are 3-1 SU. The Bulldogs have been a point spread nightmare covering just once since November 17 while going 1-6-1 ATS. The push was a win over Marquette so we know that they can play although their competition has been second and third rate. Bama has played some big boys and has defeated two different No. 1 teams and then of course fell themselves. In true road games the Crimson defeated then No.1 Houston but the road team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. That’s enough for me here. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

Brooklyn at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Nets- Oh yeah, here come the Hawks after a blowout loss last night at Indiana they return home to host the red hot Nets who have won nine straight (6-1 ATS L-7). Brooklyn won the first meeting as hosts and took two of three last year and they will meet four times this season. The Nets lead the league in field goal shooting and 3-point shooting but are a different team on the road and they are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. Hawks are 5-2 ATS after a loss of10-points or greater. Take ATLANTA! |

Phoenix at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (-) over Suns- Phoenix and I don’t know how have the most 30-point wins of any team in the NBA this season...really, how can that be, and they won by 17 last night in Memphis. Washington ended a 10-game losing streak and have now won 3-of-4 as they get healthy. Phoenix just snapped a 3-game losing streak by winning in Memphis and is just 6-10 on the road. Suns 2-6 ATS following a win by 10 points or more. Wizards are 39-17-1 ATS in the second in back-to-back games. Take WASHINGTON! |

12-28-22 | Kentucky v. Missouri +3.5 | 75-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Missouri 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Yeah I just love this, Missouri has one loss this season and we had them that night while Kentucky failed us against UCLA. Wildcats coach John Calipari is always high on his new recruits but not having veteran players has started to show its flaws and as always they are poor free throw shooters. Shooting the ball is not a Tiger problem as they are No. 4 in the nation hitting 51.3 from the field and averaging 88.8 points per game also placing them at number 4. This is a true road game for the Wildcats and they are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 road games while the Tigers are 11-2 ATS against a team with a losing road record. Take MISSOURI! |

Denver at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nuggets- Denver has won four in-a-row and 7-of-8 to move into first place in the NBA Western conference. The Kings after and 0-4 start are now three games over .500 and will have to go it without Domantas Sabonis who has a right hand injury. Sacramento enters this fray with the No.2 offense in the league averaging 118.1 points a game and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts. The Nuggets are actually 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games and the Kings are 16-6 ATS after a double-digit loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |

12-27-22 | Seton Hall v. Marquette -7 | 69-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at Marquette 8:00 ET Golden Eagles (-) over Pirates- Marquette coach Shaka Smart is non-too happy about the Golden Eagles double-overtime loss at Providence where the Friars shot 30 more free throws. That was the first loss for them to a team outside the Top-25 ( not that providence is all that bad). Most trends surrounding this game favor Seton Hall but the Pirates are a notch below past teams and the Eagles are just a better overall club with a much deeper bench. Take MARQUETTE! |

Atlanta at Indiana 8:00 ET Hawks over Pacers- The question here is will these clubs continue on their current trends. Indiana lost to New Orleans last night as they scored just 38 points at the half and were never in it. For Atlanta they caught fire in the second half against Detroit Friday and scored 70 points in their 25 point win. This is the first of three meetings this season sn the Hawks swept all four games last season and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Indiana. Take ATLANTA! |

Philadelphia at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over 76ers- Currently the hottest team in the NBA Philadelphia has won eight straight and are 7-1 ATS since their OT loss to Houston back on December 5. The 76ers have been doing this without one of their more impact players in Tyrese Maxey who returns to action tonight. These two have already split two games this season each winning on the others home floor. The Sixers have done it with defense which is second allowing 107.7 and they won seven of those games at home. on the road they are a different team as they are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 road games. Take WASHINGTON! |

Charlotte at Portland 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Trailblazers- Now here is something that I never realized and it is that Charlotte has dropped 14 straight games to the Trailblazers and haven’t defeated Portland since March 29, 2008 when they were know a the Bobcats. The Hornets will be without Miles Bridges who is suspended for domestic violence charge but will have LaMelo Ball healthy and a hot Gordon Hayward. Hornets are 9-4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams and 25-12-2 ATS in their last 39 road games overall. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Utah at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Jazz- Gone of late is talk of Gregg Popovich and his greatness as a coach as San Antonio has become an also-ran and much of the time they are not even competitive. Yet, over the years the Spurs have had their way against the Jazz going 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Utah’s Colin Sexton has returned to action but is playing time is still reduced. Look for the Spurs to come with a huge effort after a 20-point loss at Orlando. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Minnesota at Miami 7:30 ET Timberwolves (-) over Heat- The Heat have fallen below the break even mark by dropping their last two games at home with Jimmy Butler ailing. Miami is 5-7 without Butler and just don’t play at the high level of more recent seasons. The T-wolves are a weak rebounding team and Miami is even worse but they can shoot the ball ranking third at 49% from the floor while the Heat are second to last in scoring only ahead of the Clippers. The Heat are just 3-13-1 ATS at home while Wolves are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

Denver has won their last five home games and this is their fourth in-a-row as hosts. No matter Suns are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the Nuggets are 4-10 ATS after a 10-point win.

Milwaukee at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- Despite a mini slump where they just lost three straight and five of six everyone in the know seems to think that Boston is the team to beat this year and by the looks of this line I believe the odds-maker thinks so too. Milwaukee has dropped their last two games and this is their four straight on the road while Boston has been home since Dec. 16 and this will be their fifth straight at home. The Celtics just have so much fire power with Brown and Tatum leading the charge and balancing the ‘Greek Freak.’ Take BOSTON! |

Philadelphia at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- The moment I saw this match-up (they have had lines up for these games since opening night tip-off) i though this is trouble. The NBA starts the days with Joel Embiid playing in his first Christmas Day games and vowing to display his talents before ‘the world’ on it’s biggest stage. The Knicks were just had an eight-game winning streak stopped at home by the Raptors followed by another to the Bulls. The 76ers enter this fray winning their last seven (6-1 ATS) with Joel on a mission. The line seems short and looks too inviting and this is nit a Christmas gift. Take NEW YORK! |

Charlotte at LA Lakers 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Lakers- Both of these clubs are absolutely dreadful as the impostor Lakers are like a walking MASH unite and Charlotte is just not very good to start with. The Hornets have dropped 9-of-10 and trailed the Clippers by 36 points before the first half ended. Lebron James at 40 years old is still putting up All-Star numbers with 27.1 ppg, 8.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists, his number are balanced with the return of LaMelo Ball is off his first Triple-Double of the season with 25 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Lakers 2-6-1 ATS last nine without Davis who was second in NBA rebounding. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Toronto at Cleveland 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Cavaliers- It seems that we will need a reversal of fortune to win this match-up as the Cavaliers have the best home record in the NBA going 16-2 straight-up 13-4-1 ATS while Toronto is just 4-12 SU but 7-9 ATS. I really like this Cleveland squad but the Raptors who just ended a 6-game losing streak by defeating the Knicks and stopping their winning streak at eight. Now, they can stop the Cavs who have five straight wins and are 2-5 ATS after a win. Take TORONTO. |

LA Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over 76ers- Tonight finishes a 14 day seven game home stand for Philadelphia and they have won all six covering five time. The started against the Lakers and will end it against the Clippers tonight. LA has won their last two as they are starting to get healthy and have played tough through their adversary. Joel Embiid leads the NBA in scoring and appears to be on that MVP mission and stated that he’s finally apply to see that the 76ers will be playing on Christmas day so he can showcase his talents to the world. But, that is Sunday...take LA CLIPPERS! |

San Antonio at New Orleans 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Pelicans- Things are taking a down turn of late for the Pelicans as they have lost their last four and will be without Zion Williamson tonight. This is the third meeting of the season and the Spurs lost them by 19 and 18 points and they will meet one more time in March. San Antonio is 9-4 ATS after a SU win and despite the two losses this year are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Pels 2-6 ATS playing on two days rest. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Colorado State vs Southern California 11:00 ET Rams (+) over Trojans- As their coach stated ‘this is our biggest win of the year by far.’ Comments that make me think that USC must really be full of themselves after their 74-71 victory over No. 19 Auburn. If the Trojans continue to think of how great a win they had last time out they will get ambushed this time at home against Colorado State. On the other end of the spectrum the Rams were defeated earlier this season by Northern Colorado who was rated No. 207. CSU is off a 62-60 win at St. Mary’s (not as easy to do as you might think. This number is way too low and I won’t be surprised of the Rams win on the floor. Take COLORADO STATE! |

Auburn at Washington 11:00 ET Tigers (-) over Huskies- Auburn started the season 8-0 but have dropped 2-of-3 as the competition got tougher as they lost to Memphis and in their first road game to USC Sunday. It was one of those games where even a 32-19 rebounding edge over the Trojans didn’t help as 23 turnovers were key. The Huskies have played two games against real competitors and lost them both to Gonzaga and Oregon State. The Tigers lead the nation in blocked shots averaging an incredible 7.5 blocks. The cream rises and the tigers bite the Huskies. Take AUBURN! |

Notre Dame at Florida State 8:30 ET Fighting Irish over Seminoles- The Fighting Irish are coming off back-to-back losses and are looking for their first ACC win of the season. Notre Dame has five starters that average double figures but its defense has been spotty as they rank 222 in points allowed. Florida State has had numerous injuries that have force them to play small ball. The trouble with that is this is not baseball where it can work as they are No. 335 in rebounds per game averaging just 29.2. ND is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games while Florida State is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a loss. Take NOTRE DAME! |

So, how can the odds maker decide that the Knicks should be less than a bucket favorites. It looks too easy especially when we see that the Raptors are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in New York.

Virginia at Miami-FL 8:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Cavaliers- I have seen No. 6 Virginia up close and alone with UCLA I believe to be the most over-rated teams in college basketball. The Cavaliers suffered their first loss of the season last time out against Houston (Megabucks winner) while No. 22 Miami are winners of seven straight games. Virginia has won the past six meetings and under coach Tony Bennett are once again defensive leaders allowing just 59.1 PPG. The Canes have averaged 81.6 PPG during their current winning streak and are No. 8 in offensive efficiency. Take MIAMI-FL. |

In a mirror of each other the Bulls have lost four straight while Miami have won four straight. Reverse of form here. Take CHICAGO! |

They started on their trek with a seven game winning steak and are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at home. Milwaukee rebounded from a 41-point loss to Memphis with a 123-97 win over Utah without Giannis and Middleton and they are 2-8-2 ATS after a SU win. This match-up is a clash of trends as the Bucks bring the No. 4 defense while the Pelicans bring the No. 4 offense to play.Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Auburn at USC 5:30 ET Tigers over Trojans- USC is looking to gain some recognition on the hard wood not just the gridiron and a win over No. 19 Auburn in the cages would show their progress (8-3) by defeating a ranked ream. The Trojans have won four straight but just can’t match the Tigers when it comes to depth or defense. Auburn under Bruce Pearl play defense and only allow 61 PPG. USC is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games and are 2-7 ATS after a SU win. Take AUBURN |

12-17-22 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Arizona | 70-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Arizona 10:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- This will be a test of a pair of offensive power as Arizona now leads the nation in scoring averaging 92.0 PPG while shooting 54.5% from the floor. Tennessee will be playing their first true road game and for the most part that becomes a challenging experience for them and us. I have seen Arizona live twice already this season and still think that they can be had as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Vols are 14-5 ATS on the road after three straight home games. Take TENNESSEE! |

Vanderbilt vs N.C State 10:30 ET Commodores (+) over Wolfpack- These two have very different records and only one common opponent to judge them. This will be a late start in Chicago and is the final game of a quadruple-header at the United Center. For Vanderbilt it will be their first ‘live’ action in nine days and they are ready to get back to the hardwood. This is the sixth meeting with the Commodores having a 3-2 advantage with all six games having being played on neutral sites and Vandy is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games at neutral sites. NC State who is off a huge 92-73 win over under-manned Furman are 5-15-1 ATS after a SU win. Take VANDERBILT! |

Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- I don’t know about these Bucks as this line just doesn’t seem right to me. Memphis is supposed to be one of the stiffer competitors and the Bucks who trailed by 15-points after the first quarter out-scored the Grizzlies by 56 points the final three quarters. I don’t think they’ll do it in back-to-back games and will put my trust in the Jazz who have won their last two games over New Orleans and overcame a 15-point deficit themselves. The Jazz are 30-9 ATS in the last 39 meetings and 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to the Brew City. Take UTAH! |

12-17-22 | UCLA v. Kentucky +2 | 63-53 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Kentucky 5:15 ET Wildcats (+) over Bruins-I just love winning these games involving the UCLA Bruins...sometimes no matter if you are with or against certain teams you have a great insight as to what they are doing night by night. That is how it has been for ‘us’ regarding the Bruins and Kentucky is the perfect opponent for Saturday’s action. The Wildcats dropped a game to No. 2 Gonzaga back on November 20 but have reeled off four straight wins since. When quality programs like this meet the points become such a huge factor as the dog in this series is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings. I’m not going to give you any other trends as they might discourage you. Have no fear! Take KENTUCKY! |

Denver at LA Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- The Lakers are on the upswing as they are 9-6 SU in their last 15 games after starting 2-10. Part of the solution for winning for Los Angeles had been the return of a healthy Anthony Davis who bricked a pair of Free-throws in the clutch against Boston which kept the Lakers fro winning in regulation. Denver has been the best of late and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 9-20 ATS after a SU win and are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Los Angeles. Take the LAKERS! |

Charlotte who is expecting the return of Gordon Hayward (Isn’t he always returning from some aliment) have dropped six straight games and the Hawks have been just one-game better in their last six contests going 1-5 SU. But more importantly for the Hornets LaMelo Ball returned to action Wednesday and had 23 points and 11 assists in their loss at Detroit. The Hornets have had their way with Atlanta winning going 10-4-1 ATS as hosts in their series and get it done tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

New Orleans at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz ( ) over Pelicans- In what was a rare thing in NBA scheduling the current wave is for many teams to play a pair of games at the same site to reduce travel. So, it was just Tuesday that Utah ended the Pelicans 7-game win streak with a resounding 121-100 victory as they held New Orleans to their second lowest scoring game of the season. Can the Pelicans make the adjustments needed to split the 2-game set. They are a stellar 12-3 at home but just 6-6 on the road and 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams that have a winning home record. The Jazz are 15-5 SU at home and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings as hosts. Take UTAH! |

Milwaukee who is looking to get back into the winners circle are off a message sending 128-111 win at Golden State and have won 8-of-10. The Bucks continue to pressure their opponents and are No. 2 in defense in points scored allowing 107.6 PPG and are No. 1 in FG % defense. The Grizzlies are off a 128-103 win over Atlanta on Monday and are 2-6 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Bucks are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games after a win of 10 points or more.

Part of the Cavaliers improvement is centered around Donovan Mitchell who is averaging 29.0 PPG. The Cavs are looking to bounce back from a loss at San Antonio on Monday when the Spurs ended a nine-game losing streak.

UCLA at Maryland 9:00 ET Terrapins over Bruins- Seems strange that these two will be playing in the same conference next season as the Big Ten has swallowed a former ACC stalwart Maryland and a the PAC-12 legendary UCLA. These Top-25 ranked teams meeting each with a pair of flaws with losses in early season tournaments. Maryland has dropped their last two contests and returns home after losses to Tennessee and at Wisconsin. The Bruins to me were one of the least impressive teams ranked teams in the early part of the season. Terps are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games but this price is way low considering the trends.

Mississippi is a perfect 5-0 (3-1-1 ATS) at home and this will be the first true road encounter for the Knights.

South Carolina is one of the more offensively challenged team in the NCAA ranked No. 331 averaging just 64.2 PPG and their defense is ranked at 211 PPG.

Alabama accomplished a feat last done by Duke in 1965-66 and that is defeating two different No. 1 teams. The Tide are coming off a 71-65 upset of No. 1 Houston Saturday parlayed with their (4OT) win over then No. 1 North Carolina 103-101. I expect a non-cover in the game following a win like that and that happened after their first upset win. Memphis can play and are on a six-game winning streak after defeating Bama rival Auburn 82-73 on Saturday. Tigers are 13-4 ATS in last 17 games against a team with a winning percentage above 60% or better. Tide 2-8 ATS following an ATS win. Take MEMPHIS! |

Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Kings (+) over 76ers- It might be surprising to you because it was to me when I realized it but Sacramento has a better record than the Sixers. Be it just one game but it sort of caught my attention. Now, Philly is coming off an epic performance by Joel Embiid (53-points) who is still on a mission to prove he’s the league’s best and a huge win on Sunday, while the Kings were blown out in New York. Okay, here’s some supporting info, Kings are 15-5 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more as well a 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 road games. Although Philly holds a big series edge the Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five game in Philadelphia. Take SACRAMENTO! |

But, like so many clubs that go west they experience what I say is a Bang-Bang Theory, that is when they get beat in back-to-back games. LA has been hurt by injuries and only had Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the seventh time on Saturday. In a tight one the Clippers get it dome. Take LA CLIPPERS! |
